Itinerary description
Soon Valley is in Khushab District and somewhat 200 km away from Islamabad. It can be reached via Motorway till Balkasar/Kalarkahar and then the local road. However the Kalarkar to Soon valley road is under construction so it’s advised to take the Balkasar exit and drive though the Talagang to Soon valley.
On our way to Soon Valley we started our travel early morning at 6:00 AM. Motorway was blocked so we took off road route. It was a scenic drive but due to fog our vision was contained. Still we could see the orange farms and people making through the cold winters. As we reached the city of Talagang, fog cleared and the we saw magical landscape of “Chinji” a huge village built on the top of a sharp edged cliff. It looked like those Italian villages which go viral on internet. Ehsan lives in the Jabba village which is on the eastern edge of Soon valley. After parking the car at his Haweli we spared no time and started the hike at 12: PM (after a 6 hours drive).
But on our way back it took us only 4 hours even though there was fog but as Motorway was open so it shortened the travel.
